UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 Fifth Quiz Reviewer GE 15 – Environmental Science 1. 7 Taxonomic Classifications of Life on Earth - Domains - Kingdom - Phylums - Classes - Orders - Genus - Species 2. It is the top – level classification which categorizes life in the most general way. Domains 3. 3 Domains of Life - Eukaryotes - Prokaryotes - Archaea 4. It is the oldest domain, makes up the prehistoric organisms that used to live in extreme environment. Archaea 5. It has true nucleus. Eukaryotes 6. It doesn’t have nucleus and some organelles. Prokaryotes 7. 3 Examples of Archaea - Thermophiles - Halophiles - Methanogens 8. It resides in extreme salty water. Halophiles 9. Organisms that produce methane gas. Methanogens  UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 10. Extremely high temperature. It is an organism that thrives in relatively high temperatures, between 106 and 252°F (41 and 122°). Thermophiles 11. A taxonomic rank used to classify living organisms into groups based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary history. Kingdoms 12. 7 Kingdoms Classification - Kingdom Bacteria - Kingdom Archaea - Kingdom Protozoa - Kingdom Chromista - Kingdom Plantae - Kingdom Fungi - Kingdom Animalia 13. A taxonomic rank in biology that groups organisms based on shared characteristics, such as morphology, development, or evolutionary relationship. Phylum 14. Approximately how much phyla do the animal kingdom contains? 35 phyla 15. How much phyla do the plant kingdom consists of? 14 phyla 16. How much phyla do the fungus kingdom consist of? 8 phyla 17. 3 Examples of Phylum - Porifera - Chordata - Arthropoda 18. This phylum includes organisms that have a notochord, and almost all have a backbone. Chordata  UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 19. This is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom, and includes animals with jointed appendages, such as spiders, butterflies, and mosquitoes. Arthropoda 20. These are the simplest multicellular animals, with pores all over their bodies. They are mostly found in marine habitats. Porifera 21. 3 Examples of Arthropoda - Spiders - Butterflies - Mosquitoes 22. A taxonomic rank (a taxon) consisting of organisms that share a common attribute; it is further divided into one or more orders. Classes 23. 2 Examples of Classes - Mammalia - Dicotyledonae 24. It is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. Orders 25. 4 Examples of Orders - Carnivora - Primates - Insectivora - Chiroptera 26. An order of mammals that includes humans and most other that live in forests. Primates 27. An order that includes bats. Chiroptera 28. An order that includes insect – eaters.  UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 Insectivora 29. An order of meat – eating mammals that includes the cat, dog, and bear families. Carnivora 30. A group of closely related species that share many characteristics and a common ancestor. Genus 31. It includes several living species, including wolves, dogs, coyotes, and jackals. Canis 32. It includes extinct archaic human species as well as anatomically present – pay humans. Homo 33. What is the full scientific designation for humans? Homo sapiens 34. A group of organisms that can reproduce with each other and produce fertile offspring. Species 35. 3 Examples of Species - Homo sapiens - Felis Catus - Canis lupus 36. What characteristics are used how we begin to categorize? - This helps to identify organisms more efficiently, Study group characteristics, Determine relatedness. - Physical Appearance such as form color and size - Chemical Structure of their Genetic Makeup - Evolutionary History - Biologists group organisms based on similarities and differences in the organisms 37. Binomial Nomenclature and Rules - First letter of Genus: ALWAYS CAPITALIZED - Printed or Typed: BOTH SHOULD BE italicized - Handwritten: BOTH SHOULD BE underlined 38. All living things share a single, common ancestor that evolved over millions of years to bring about the biodiversity we see today. The Tree of Life  UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 39. What are the 3 number of things determined in relatedness? - Morphology - Physiology - Biochemistry 40. 6 Types of Characteristics - Morphology - Form and structure - Physiology - Function - Biochemistry - Genetic makeup 41. Are anything that limits the size of a population like certain environmental conditions. Limiting Factors 42. 5 Examples of Limiting Factors - Food availability - Water and Soil Nutrients - Living Conditions - Light - Temperature 43. The maximum population size an environment can support. If the population size rises above it, organism dies because they cannot meet all their needs. Carrying Capacity 44. It is likely to become endangered in the near future. Threatened Species 45. A kind of plant or animal that is exclusive to a nation, island, or mountain range that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Endemic Species 46. A species with an alarming chance of becoming extinct soon. Endangered Species  UM Tagum College UM Visayan Campus, Tagum City, Davao del Norte Telefax No.: (084) 655-9607 | Local 135 47. An animal, plant, or other thing that is gone and no longer found on Earth. Extinct Species 48. 3 Examples of Endangered Species - Tiger - Rhinos - Gorillas 49. 3 Examples of Extinct Species - Wally Mammoth - Giant Panda - Baiji 50. 3 Examples of Endemic Species - Lemurs - Asiatic Lion - Kangaroos 51. 3 Examples of Threatened Species - Orangutan - Amur Leopard - Box Turtles
